take a look at how close nations are to achieving their goals. and joining us rosko with the sports the world anti-doping agency reassures advocates over the current virus vaccine and the pressure is on manchester united as they face local rival city as one of the 2 big european darby's coming up on saturday. for the country hardest hit by the corona virus is now preparing to administer its 1st vaccinations in these hours ahead that's off to united states health officials authorize the files a biotech coronavirus vaccine for emergency use the company says it will start shipping immediately with inoculations beginning as early as monday the hospitals and pharmacies have been preparing for a nationwide immunization campaign but finds a vaccine needs to be kept true cold temperatures and some states. worried there

weren't enough try to transport it to rural areas news of a private 1000 vaccine in the us can't come soon enough with daily cases soaring to record highs they have now been more than 15000000 infections and nearly 300000 deaths mike hanna reports for us from washington d.c. very much. followed immense pressure from the white house during the course of the day president trunk shot to additional fire wall between politicians and if v.a. deliberations with a furious early morning tweet describing the f.d.a. as still a big old slow turtle and addressing the f.d.a. commissioner he continued get the damn vaccines out now dr hahn stop playing games and start saving lives the white house chief of staff is understood to have followed up with a phone call to the f.d.a. commissioner urging him to expedite the approval. first followed to rip you off the vaccine by independent health experts thursday voted overwhelmingly to recommend

emergency use authorization president trump has now welcomed the f.d.a. approval of really good news today our nation has achieved a medical miracle we have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just 9 months this is one of the greatest scientific accomplishments in history it will save millions of lives and soon end the pandemic once and for all the vaccine manufacturer has said it will be able to roll out an initial $20000000.00 doses within 24 hours of approval in terms of guidelines drawn up by the centers for disease control the 1st recipients will be frontline health care workers and the elderly in assisted care facilities though it will be left to the governor of each state to establish distribution protocols. the governor of new york state andrew cuomo said he was expecting 170000 doses by

sunday or monday this will be enough to treat 85000 people in the 1st wave of vaccinations. a 2nd vaccine manufactured by madonna will come under review next thursday it too says it will be able to roll out 20000000 doses within a day of emergency use approval the virus continues to rage throughout the united states with more than 200000 new cases being reported each week and some 3000 deaths a day being recorded and health officials warn that it will take months before the vaccine begins to have an impact on the stock statistics mike hanna al-jazeera washington well let's get more on this now with john hendren he's also in washington d.c. joiner we're set to hear from the f.d.a. in the next couple of hours or so but right now do we have any details about how this is going to roll out and where exactly. well vet is subject to

a vote that's going to happen as you say today it was originally going to happen on sunday but the general guidelines are that the 1st $3000000.00 doses will go out those will go pretty quickly they'll go to health care workers their nurses and doctors who have been taking care of patients with coated and elderly people in nursing homes because they're especially vulnerable at those places where we have seen a number of outbreaks at pfizer that scene is being rolled down by u.p.s. and fed ex pfizer's got a facility in michigan from which it is sending those out but it's probably going to be this spring here in the u.s. more like march april may before regular people who don't have co-morbidities and who are not frontline health care workers begin to get this vaccine but officials expect that binds some or most people will have been vaccinated who want to be vaccinated john given the time this case i have precious here what do we know about

the supply chain is there a worry that they might run out of vaccines and have to stop at some point. yeah that's a definite concern pfizer it asked the u.s. if it wanted more supplies the us the trumpet ministration said no an initially came back in asterism and fines or said no i'm sorry we've sold those to other countries so there is a concern about the supply there are of course the other 2 vaccines also coming up for approval here in the u.s. but the concern with the pfizer vaccine is that it is required to be kept at such a cold temperature that it's got to be stacked with dry ice and that product can be held for 30 days in a container if they're dry ice is replaced every 5 days but there are concerns about reaching rural areas and certainly any kind of problem with transportation with the planes with the production of the virus would delay delivery to people so

already we've seen the projections of when people of various groups will get that vaccine move back and as i said earlier we were now looking to spring or so before most people who are not frontline health care workers or the elderly will get this long journey ahead john hendren watching all of that for us from washington d.c. thank you so much don ho staying in the united states in the supreme court there has rejected a legal bed from the state of texas to overturn the results of the president's the election now president trump had backed that north sea to its soul to throw out results in 4 key states that were won by joe biden. reports. many legal experts in the us predicted this outcome the supreme court dismissed a bid by the state of texas to overturn the presidential election results much to the anger of trump who tweeted the supreme court really let us down no wisdom no courage trump and his republican allies wanted the court to set aside results in 4

states won by president elect joe biden michigan pennsylvania and wisconsin 18 republican attorney generals and 126 republican members of congress supported the lawsuit bought in a short statement the court said that texas has not demonstrated educationally called musical interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections biden's team celebrated the decision saying the supreme court has decisively and speedily rejected the latest of donald trump and his allies attacks on the democratic process this is no surprise dozens of judges election officials from both parties and trump's own attorney general have dismissed his baseless attempts to deny he lost the election trump and other republican organizations have 52 seats in various states they've achieved partial success in only one but legal analysts say trump may continue to try to overturn the election results i don't count

halfords i just do something else even though it probably won't get anywhere because it is over as of monday when the electoral college to me but we cannot be in the head down the think what he might try to do next but this was really his last day on there critics of trump say his refusal to concede defeat has damaged the integrity of the u.s. electoral process and biden's victory will be officially certified by the electoral college next week victoria gate and be out there as well ali i spoke to scott nicholas he's the co-founder of america and felt about news and analysis on u.s. politics and foreign policy he says the supreme court's ruling here is largely meant to deter any future legal challenges from the trump campaign. the legal message was that in this specific case 7 of the 9 justices said texas you've got no right to try to interfere over the way that elections were conducted in georgia wisconsin pennsylvania and michigan and the 2 most conservative justices samuel

alito clarence thomas said ok we would consider your case but there's absolutely no chance that we would grant you what you want which is to throw out the elections in those 4 states what is important beyond the supreme court decision is the political message and that is in 57 of 58 cases the courts have said you really shouldn't be here to the trump lawyers they said there's no claims of fraud there's no evidence and your legal theory is completely inappropriate and misguided you have the combination of the supreme court 1st on tuesday in a case brought over pennsylvania then in the texas lawsuit not only rejected the truck camp's attempts to overturn the elections they said there's no way we're going to consider this there's absolutely no standing here and you combine that with the political which is the electoral college meets on monday they will confirm joe biden's victory of $306.00 electors to $232.00 and that's it it's done what does trump do next he then looks ahead probably saying he'll run for president the

presidency in 2024 to reclaim what is rightfully his how much support does he get from the republican party and from his supporters to go for this for another 4 years. now the 1st international aid convoy has arrived in the ethiopian city at the center of recent fighting in the northern tikrit region a convoy of trucks from the red cross will distribute medicine and other supplies to hospitals and medical a ethiopian army has captured the city and declared victory while rival fire says from the people's liberation front have vowed to fight on while jeremy england is the head of operations in ethiopia at the international committee of the red cross he tells us little more about the types of supplies that are being brought in. we managed to get 7 trucks in with our convoy today after day on the road those trucks are containing and medical supplies primarily to support the regional hospital there i did regional hospital and several other hospitals in the regions

and pharmacies. we also carry some fuel and non-food items housewives and some of supplies and communication equipment for the operation there but the main priority is to carry medicines surgical supplies and just basic items that are necessary for the hospital to function the hospital main reference hospital in the kili has been unable to function fully. develop and drop some supplies for over a month now they are dealing with a large number of trauma patients in mccallion so you've seen is the number of wounded persons and also displaced persons coming into that city and the city's only residents being deprived of power water communications for over a month so they've obviously been requirements for floors to support. doctors that had to choose between different patients who they could treat with diminishing supplies and without the ability to disinfect correctly so we were very very

concerned about the situation occurring we're delighted to see that. 2 convoys arrive there from the government of ethiopia both food and some additional medical supplies in the last week and together with our convoy we hope that begins to ease some of the pressure. on his country more happy trading thousands of his e.t.s. have a tantrum rock after playing contract i suspect many of them are for national. mexico cancels the world's largest african help image but say that kind of action if needed now. and spanish leaders that have got madrid take on their local rivals and one of 2 big here and obvious on saturday that's all coming up in support. new evidence in the case of an italian student tortured and murdered in egypt could

further implicate security officials that but there are clips retained by al-jazeera from italian judicial sources indicate for the 1st time that 28 year old researcher journey original was being monitored while in egypt car leg has a story. that this video recording may not show much but for italian officials investigating the brutal murder of julio region in egypt it's a breakthrough the 1st evidence that the italian student was targeted and put under surveillance by egyptian authorities was actually going to mug this image was 3 hours it was. it comes after italian prosecutors announced plans to charge for egyptian security offices with the students torture and death they say one of the defendants colonel as a commercial assigned the informant to monitor julia originate a month before he was killed. more guard or say we go today we

know that the egyptian general security followed regina's tracks for 40 days we know that he was a recent 1st in a camp been transferred to cell number 13 of the egyptian ministry of interior this is a very dangerous matter me telling people strongly condemn it and we firmly maintain our position with respect to closing diplomatic ties with egypt ridge and his body was found on a desert highway after he disappeared in january 26th seen he was last seen near an underground subway stop in cairo where he'd been researching the sensitive topic of labor movements in egypt his mother later said his body was so mutilated she was only able to recognize the tip of his nose rights groups say the marks resemble those resulting from. widespread torture practices in egyptian facilities the national security agency is quite a torrijos we have documented the torture we have documented and forced disappearance in the country and hold the judiciary affectively in service of the

system of repression in. country the death sparked outrage in italy and strained diplomatic relations between the 2 countries with italy's government accusing egyptian authorities of non-cooperation we want stores and justice for our citizen who has been killed tortured in such a terrible way we have an explanation egyptian prosecutors have continued to insist that region is killers remain unknown and all thirty's deny any involvement in fact they've announced a temporary suspension of the investigation but israeli plans to push on with the case regardless the suspects will be tried in an italian court in abstention as for julia region as parents they're still calling for justice for their son his mother applauded an investigation that not only shed some light on his death but held up what she called a mirror of how human rights of violated in egypt every day carra leg al-jazeera. saturday marks the 5th anniversary of the paris climate agreement since then

extreme weather events from drought wildfires and super storms are all taken their toll and highlighted a renewed quarter urgent action so how is the well placed on its battle against the climate crisis anika texas there was an extraordinary moment after only loose years of negotiations the oceans of the world united in this common cause and the paris agreement was born. because it was. for celebrations they were short lived within 18 months the accord was in deep trouble suddenly u.s. leadership was lost. the united states will withdraw from the paris. lima court well in the 5 years since paris national commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions well they haven't measured

up and time is running out remember the agreement ange to stop global temperatures from rising 2 degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels ideally one and a half degrees but average global temperatures are right now as i speak at $1.00 degrees and climbing and the impacts of a warming world they're already shocking displacing millions and costing billions extreme weather events are becoming all too familiar from superstorm stew record wildfires from heat waves to devastating floods ice packs they've continued to diminish at both poles with the current decade the warmest on record it sounds bad it is bad and yet despite it all suddenly there's an opportunity president elect joe biden has pledged to return the united states to the paris agreement the world's 2nd biggest emitter of greenhouse gases back at the table and the number one a matter that's china responsible for 28 percent of global emissions they promise

carbon neutrality by 2060 other countries have followed suit japan and south korea committing to net 0 by 2050 joining the u.k. the e.u. and next year the united states and hopefully more to come out of the tragedy of the covert pandemic suddenly major economies are eyeing a green recovery with trillions of dollars in stimulus funds available i think yes we are in a moment i would say in a turning point moment in history and it's set in my view it's a great opportunity very few either some very few generations have the opportunity to become so relevant for at history overall it doesn't mean that it is going to be easy on the contrary i think these bullets on our shoulder. and responsibly the thing is nations political action is one thing implementing

policies to assure new found hope is not misguided well that's quite another but never will there be a better opportunity to realize the goals of the paris agreement and to put the brakes on the worst effects of climate change and you can watch our extended interview with the executive secretary of the un framework convention on climate change patricia espinosa who you were just hearing from there that's at 830 g.m.t. on sunday right here on talk to al jazeera for now that speak to nick maybe he's the chief executive of a 3rd generation environmentalism that's an independent european think tank and he joins us now from london nick i know you yourself have been a strategic advisor on climate change issues to the british government so i want to start there we've just seen the u.k. now say that they'll stop funding overseas fossil fuel projects which a number of big banks have decided some time back it trillions are still being spent so realistically is change happening fast enough.

i believe we are having some communication challenges there with nic maybe we will be getting him back as soon as we can bear let's move on for now because climate change is also having a devastating impact on the mountain regions france scare resorts there have closed because of unreliable snowfall and scientists in the alphonso say rising temperatures are causing mountains to crumble at ashoka reports. striking and majestic the french alps aren't chanting site for thousands of years people have lived and worked in the mountains or simply come to admire them but scientists warn these ancient peaks are crumbling rising temperatures are melting permafrost the frozen soil an ice that holds them together speeding up erosion and triggering dangerous rock falls glaciologist falls manuf says the high vertical rock faces of the alps are particularly vulnerable to changes in temperature. in effect we have

noticed that in warm periods particularly the last 2 or 3 decades rockfalls have been more frequent than in past colder decades or so when the summers are very hot as they were in 20032015 the rock falls happened more often and. also melting faster than before there are 4000 in the alps chain that span 7 countries scientists say half will have disappeared by 2050 climate change is also transforming low altitude mountains like those in the photos region in eastern france it's still snowing here every winter inventer on the problem is the snow for has become less reliable the ski season much shorter so that's why be operated this year has decided to close the resort. grandfather created the ski resort his family have always run it is odd competed in the olympics shutting the resort down

wasn't an easy decision but he says he had no. choice now plans to build a luxury hotel to attract tourists all year round who want to board all the ski stations face the same problem because to work you need snow at the right time during the holidays and good weather so it's hard to have all that in a short season we used to have a bad winter every decade now it's every 3 years so it's impossible to recover. rising temperatures a forced dozens of ski resorts to close in france in recent years scientists warn that unless more is done to stop climate change snow capped mountains and glistening place is may 1 day become things that the past natasha butler al-jazeera venture on live. from hospital climate change it's now time for the weather and where that bitter. spent a very wet start to the week full australia on a very wet end to the week that eastern parts of the country side which was the west we've had 2 tropical distances make their way through producing some very

heavy rain but as we go on through the next 24 to 48 hours just little area of low pressure hey that's going to give some cause for concern just around the southeast of queensland also into the northeast of new south wales really heavy rain pushing through here some parts could see maybe 200 millimeters of rain what some spots could see as much as 400 millimeters of rain say we are expecting widespread flooding river flooding and flash flooding as a result of the heavy downpours very strong winds as well winds could gust in excess of 100 kilometers per hour so damaging winds gnostic weather as we go through the next day or so further south into were new zealand across the other side of the ditch things looking pretty good here actually perfect cricket weather in wellington clear blue skies and plenty of sunshine that we have blue skies but a good deal colder across northern parts of china and that cold air is going to continue sinking its way further south which as we go through the next couple of days so little around 3 degrees celsius on sunday with some bits and pieces of snow

much colder here by monday still ahead for you here on out as they're forced to pay bribes for services that shipping for the people of ghana say systemic corruption is an accounting why. we funded the lives of internally displaced 25 years after the war. and trial here since turning professional this scare finally ends up at the top of the podium over to his house coming up the scorcher. we've never had a president who has little use for the full year of repeatedly attacked our democracy. you know lucy lerner it isn't i don't have a narrative i have a question you're getting there really were you treated. or even through the join

me richelle carey and up front as my guest from around the world take a hot seat and we debate the week's top stories in pressing issues here on the earth. building a new life on an entirely beach living off the sea and the land. a dream shared by so many but so few make it a reality. a family business led by a mark of a woman with a flair for cooking and desist from living. my chinese yeah i didn't catch it on al-jazeera.

and i missed all the attendant hotlips remind you about top stories here this hour the u.s. has become the latest country to approve the fires a biotech coronavirus vaccine for emergency use the president says the fastest could be administered within 24 hours with millions more set a nationwide distribution. and the u.s. supreme court has rejected a legal bid from the state of texas to overturn donald trump's election defeat trump head back to that dossier which sort of throw out the results in 4 key states where joe biden has won several other legal challenges have already been rejected across the country. in the 1st international aid convoy has arrived in the ethiopian city at the center of recent fighting in the northern tier a region ethiopia's army has captured mecca lay but rival fighters from the tikrit people's liberation front have valid to fight all. well that's now pick up on one of the stories that we've been covering the paris climate accord that was signed 5

years ago now in the coming hour british prime minister barak johnson and the u.n. secretary general are expected to hold about 12 missing with us to discuss it for now though we can speak to nick maybe he's the chief executive of 3rd generation environmental as an independent european think tank we've managed to get him back and he joins us now from london nick as i was saying earlier you've been a strategic advisor on climate change issues to the british government we've seen the u.k. now say that they'll stop funding overseas fossil fuel projects but even though a number of big banks decide about some time back trillions were still being spent so in your mind realistically is change happening fast enough. as it was with this in this 2 sides no immediate change. for still putting too much money into fossil fuels or not most of the clean energy but then as your report earlier with all the big countries including the us and china now by you know 2050 neutrality talk that we're within spitting distance or cheating the goals if people deliver so the

question now is not drift persuade people but we need to get so close a climate what can we deliver on the promises right amounts the big challenge for the glasgow conference next year sure will speaking of that delivery as you point out our environment at a nick was explaining that paris is in agreement with voluntary targets right no real sanction for missing those targets now to cut emissions in a dramatic way that we really need to many are arguing that we need to restructure the existing economic system itself how do we incentivize that change. well you're right but i know that sanctions were never going to force people like china or the u.s. to change the whole energy system they were only ever going to do it because it was in their interests and now really the reason they're going to do it is cheaper so the costs of clean energy fall and since parents fall faster than we have a thought around 30 years false of offshore wind solar electric vehicles the u.k. just published really detailed analysis of how it was going to get to carbon

neutrality by 2050 and it was cheaper than its previous target which didn't get that and cheaper than all talk as we had 10 years ago much more ambitious so the key driver now is it's cheaper to go clean the question is how to do it well working within our current economic frame lack and also the very unequal while that we level one of the sorts of practical tools that you envision that could potentially help push us in the right direction like a carbon tax friends densa a carbon credit trading system is that the way we should be going. think as a former economist or what's on the safe people of the play the importance of global carbon taxes in trading the key issues investment and so just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's easy to many of specially from but developing countries suffering from colleagues that you haven't got the money to spend they haven't got the money to invest in the new clean technologies which would be better for them economically and for that people so the key things we need to do is make access to finance and access to new technologies for the core

a country so they can benefit from the clean energy revolution brought them just the same old rich middle income countries china us europe benefiting and making all these new products and make you mentioned that it does feel like we have this moment here as we grapple with this pandemic to potentially really change the way that we rebuild our lives our economies and as you say we have the technology at the scale and at the cost to do this so in your mind is this a moment that we look back on and say that's when we chose a future. you know i think sometimes people use the historic moment too often but i think you know 2021 really is story time we have to decide how we build back up cope with the recession we have to decide if we're going to make the ambition of the climate target if we do both together then we really laid the foundations for a more stable a more equal a better world with cleaner and better jobs and less energy and security so that's on the plate world leaders next year they're going to make those choices there's no

barrier sums of money or technology it's purely about politically can we agree make maybe you have a chief executive of 3rd generation environmentalism great to get your thoughts here or not as they are thanks for being with us. thank you now since joining 18000 members of the as a the minority have returned to some in northern iraq over 300000 fled when i saw invaded that region there's a community now hopes to rebuild but many feel that they've been excluded from important decisions about the areas of governance so not a fault and reports from. the iraqi army is once again in charge of sindar home to iraq's easy to religious minority the district is one of several disputed areas claimed by both the central government in baghdad and the semi autonomous kurdish region it has changed hands 5 times since 2003 as part of an agreement between the 2 sides in october but that deployed its army to take control of few

dozen gentlemen sort of short of the security situation in said is the responsibility of the police and iraqi army controls all the suburbs districts in subdistricts the security is stable in said there is no flag other than the iraqi flag posted into the town all the positions are under the control of the iraqi government. after the fall of the late former president saddam hussein in 2003 kurdish peshmerga fighters controlled singe our while the iraqi army was deployed further south both abandoned their positions in 2014 when the islamic state of iraq and the levant are eisel launched an offensive across northern iraq much of the city of sendai was destroyed during the conflict there's a lack of trust among the easy to minority towards both the federal government in baghdad and the regional government in kurdistan due to the decades of neglect and because those forces failed to protect them when i saw swept through our killing an abducted thousands more over they feel that they have not been meaningfully

included in the negotiations that determine the future governance of their region. among those not consulted on the agreement. groups that sprung up in 2014 to help survivors escape eisel and who fought to retake singe are this group called the singe resistance units has now handed over several checkpoints to the iraqi army but their commander told al jazeera that the fighters will remain in the mountains . we want guarantees to keep the residents of sin just safe we will not hunston job to a specific political party and we will not allow anyone to deal with singe or in an oppressive way the resistance units are closely affiliated with the outlawed kurdistan workers' party while other armed groups operating in the district are linked to iran many people living in sin jar say they are tired of living at the mercy of competing political interests and some welcome the presence of the iraqi

army. having the iraqi government here is better for us there are many parties and illegal armed factions here if the iraqi government is here at the situation will be better and the security will be better but there are concerns that the parties to the agreement will meddle in the selection of the local government and police force choosing. people who serve their interests. should themselves form the local police the name should be chosen by the people of said years after being displaced by the conflict with i saw a 3rd of the inhabitants have returned and are beginning to rebuild their homes that means they'll be able to cast their ballots in elections in sindar next year and have a chance to have their voices heard and choose their own leaders seem. sindar now gone on to corruption activists say the country is news in the fight against graft and county ranks on the perception that's out of $180.00 countries and

citizens have little faith that the newly elected politicians will adequately tackle the problem amid address reports from the capital. also she will picks passengers on his motorcycle for although the government has banned commercial much cycle operations in the capital across the business thrice he says what keeps them in business is paying a bribe. money to the police when they get. to work for the crowd i see guys from the police on the streets to markets in public or business offices many gunnin say they are compelled to pay a bribe source a business that i meant to be free that was what pushed and nasty your boss into activism i had an issue with my. electricity meter and so i had to go to electricity company i got there and. stuff were demanding that i i had to pay something before they quote

a funny service but exposing corruption comes with a heavy price in $21000.00 a young journalist was assassinated. because of an investigative story he was doing . goners most famous investigative journalist and us out of it as conducted many undercover investigations and corruption in guyana the most award winning journalist says threats against him and his colleagues are real and it's intimidating many. a bit of a depth of some level of fear by some journalists because they think that this government is a bit intolerant a journalist many have died many have sacrificed that's not induce in us in a sense of the city. again and say they are more worried about corruption among public officials even institutions investigating abuse of public trust at mit the problem is huge. truths. i would say people are beginning

to be alive today sponsibility of holding people accountable and this is general election corruption was a dominant theme for the 1st time in an election governor's got a hung parliament why no party holds an absolute majority analysts believe that the results of monday's vote sends a strong message to politicians that people have taken note of more corruption cases and i demanding accountability. when i would talk to see how much of that they will get from public officials activists a strong institutions vibrant civil society and fearless journalists are needed to tame corruption that's draining hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayers' money each year. al-jazeera across. all iran has executed a dissident journalist convicted of feeling anti-government on rest during nationwide protests and 27028 team. was captured by the revolutionary guard and
